color and mac degen.

I have MD in both eyes and developed et in my right eye very quickly.  That eye was treated for a year or so with injections.  It din't work and I have side vision only..  I am now having more problems with my good eye.  I noticed about a week or so ago that I needed lots of light to see and bright sunlight was the best.  I am also noticing that sometimes things are not in color for short periods.  Is the color thing a part of the MD?  I don't know if it happened before because I had a good eye and it may have compensated.  Thank you!

This is not a sign of a cataract.  Also, ask your doctor to consider Eylea for the eye with Wet AMD, it may work.

Thank you for your response.  I don;t think I was clear on my problem.  Ihave ADM in both eyes and wet in my right eye.  I had tx for that I and it didn't help.  I have no center vision in the right eye now.  I still have fluid but my retina dr. told me that shots would not help anymore.  I had them for about 1 year and at first the injections worked. What I am having a problem with now is the "good" eye (left)/  Is the color changes and needing so much light to see in that eye a sign that it will develope wet MD too? My retina dr said that if I noticed any changes
to call and they would get me in right away.  I don't want to cry wolf but also am afraid.   Could I maybe have a cataract in the left eye and it is causing the changes?  These changes happened pretty fast as did my wet MD.  I seem to be rambling now so thank you for your time.

Please see your retinal doctor.  This may be a sign of early macular disease.
